A former state assemblyman says he and others lobbied Gov. Brian Sandoval for the removal of Ken Mayer as director of the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

John Carpenter tells The Associated Press rural interests were upset with Mayer over the agency's perceived lack of predator control in managing deer herds and its efforts involving protection of sage grouse.
